WOMEN’S DRESSES
FORTHCOMING FASHIONS SKIRTS TO BE SHORTER LONDON, July 6. “For sports and day wear skirts will be definitely shorter than at present,” writes Molyneux, dress designer, in forecasting forthcoming fashions in the Daily Mail. “ I do not mean the knee-length horrors that women wore previously,” adds the writer, “ but 13in from the ground. Afternoon dresses will be anklelength or a little longer. “ Evening dresses will fconsist of two silhouettes —the slim straight line with skirts to the ground, or full-skirted of the same length.” Molyneux adds that Paris designers might* attempt to launch a sudden change in skirt length, but will no longer be able to dictate impracticable and unlovely fashions. “It is women,” he concludes, “ who to-day impose their needs upon the designers.”
